Posted by edsortails on 4/11/2012 12:40:00 AM (view original):you realize that it is jock sniffing, blind loyalists liek yourself that enable ownership to believe that they can get away with taking an entire off season off and giving us nothing

Lackey is a bit of addition by subtraction, but nothing about this rotation says 'solid'....Lester is decent, Beckett can go screw, Clay is 'healthy', Felix is a massive wild card, and Bard is 'the most talented #5 starter in the league'.....yikes

don't even pretend to defend the bullpen.......I don't consider Ross/Sweeney as a replacement for Drew, he was largely invisible last year anyhow...they replaced Reddick
what they should have done is spent SOME of the money they had by not having to pay Drew, but they pocketed it and gave us table scraps

I would point out how right I was, yet again......but I may not have been.....

while most were defending Lester as a true ace, I maintained he was simply a decent major league starter

well, the good news is that there doesn't seem any delusional way that ownership can bring back a lot of these guys next season...they should have been gone at the end of last year, but pansy management misread everything about this group.....

what they have done this season has left no doubt as to what they have on this roster....I guess we should all be thankful they didn't do a better job of hiding it
